Who is Montgomery Blair you ask? Mr. Blair was the Postmaster General under President Lincoln. He and his wife were the great grandparents of actor Montgomery Clift. While Postmaster-General, Blair instituted a uniform rate of postage and free delivery in cities. Blair also began the sale of money orders by post offices in order to reduce the mailing of currency, reducing post office robberies. He also called for the First International Postal Conference, which was held in Paris in 1863 and began the process that led to the Universal Postal Union.

So with all that said, thank you for bidding on this stamp block for your collection!
